so there’s this guy in three of my dance classes
and first off, I’m 5’7, 5’11 in dance shoes, 170 pounds, broad shoulders and big hips and not small in any dimension. For a ballroom dancer, this means a lot of time spent learning the men’s parts. Especially in lifts.
I’ve had years now of guys kinda just going “lol heck naw” when told to lift me. I don’t admit this part much, but it makes me want to sink into the ground and die when every other girl can be lifted, but I’m just too big.
So this guy, smaller than me and really cute, shows up at auditions and I see this girl across the room getting tossed about like the beautiful pixie she is, and apparently I looked a little wistful because this boy asked me if I liked lifts.
“Oh. I… Uh… I’ve never really done the girls part. I’m a little big, haha…” (laugh it off, as usual.)
He looked me dead in the eye and then picked me up like a movie princess, bounced me in the air a few times, and set me down effortlessly while telling me whoever refused to lift me before was just being a lazy wimp.
I seriously doubt this boy will ever really get how much that meant to me. But, holy cow. Some faith in humanity just got restored.

I am really happy the house cat was included at the bottom, haha
i just can’t get over how perfect the weasley family’s presents were to harry and ron on their seventeenth birthdays, even though superficially they’re the same thing
ron, who grew up poor and often got hand-me-downs from his brothers, got a brand new watch – he probably wasn’t that used to getting new things
whereas harry, who never really had much of a family history to connect to, got molly’s brother fabian’s watch, something with a lot of history and personal connection behind it that linked him to and made him a part of the weasley family
Is this what moms are up to on Pinterest these days?

I’m not saying “Don’t do this.”
I would recommend if you do do this you do so out of doors and have fire precautions in place. Potassium Nitrate, aka: Stump Remover is a powerful oxidizer. This means it causes things to rust, or more likely BURN, very very quickly.
It’s also worth mentioning that commercially available Nitrates are tagged with chemical markers that can survive high heat and detonation so they can be later analyzed by law enforcement. Here in the United States we have the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, who are notoriously unamused by home-made incendiary devices.
One final note: Potassium Nitrate and other related chemicals are popular with another market: pipe bomb manufacturers. Yeah, this stuff is a precursor to actual explosives that maim and kill people. And I’m sure you don’t need much imagination to understand how dangerous a pipe bomb can be, but just in case I suggest you google pictures of pipe bomb injuries. (No link, y’all are adults and can search that shit yourself.)
In short, this is a very dangerous video and someone IS going to be hurt by it now that it’s in the wild. I can’t really keep that from happening, but maybe we can keep the injuries to a minimum with a little bit of information.
Knowledge is Power. Knowledge is Safety. Keep cool out there, y’all.
